How to stop a fraudulent jewelry, book, wine, etc. "club" from sending you (or your parent) stuff.

My mom fell for one of these and was getting two pieces of cheap, gold plated jewelry every month. Letters didn't work. I finally sent a certified letter. No luck. I called the credit card company and refused to hang up until they helped me. They got the seller on the phone in a three-way conference call. I supplied the dates of the certified letter. No more stuff. No more billing.

I know two friends have followed up with a similar strategy, one by just mailing a copy of the certified letter with returned receipt to her mom's credit card company and stating she would pay no further charges from the seller. Another succeeded on the phone but it took repeated attempts.

U keep your mom’s credit card - get a new one and don’t let your mom have access to them.

I have found American Express to be very helpful - I just dispute the charges and they will suspend payments.
